Morphology of Dutch

This volume provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the morphological system of Dutch. Following an introduction to the basic assumptions of morphological theory separate chapters are devoted to the inflectional system derivation and compounding the interface between morphology and phonology the interaction between morphology and syntax and new to this edition a more detailed study of the features of separable complex verbs. Geert Booij demonstrates in this book that the morphology of Dutch poses multiple interesting descriptive and theoretical challenges. The volume also contributes to ongoing discussions on the nature and representation of morphological processes the role of paradigmatic relations between words - and between words and phrases - and the interaction between morphology phonology and syntax. <p/>This second fully revised edition has been updated throughout with expanded coverage of Dutch morphological phenomena and results from new research. Alongside a brand new chapter on separable complex verbs it also includes a more sophisticated analysis of the relation between morphology and syntax and an introduction to the basic tenets of Construction Morphology.<br>
